Subject: [AfrICANN-discuss] Four US states demand restraining order to stop the ICANN/IANA transition
Reply-To: AfrICANN Community List <africann@afrinic.net>

The attorneys general of ARIZONA, TEXAS, OKLAHOMA and NEVADA demand restraining order with five main claims:

• The contract is US government property and requires explicit Congressional approval before it can be handed over.
• The transition would violate the First Amendment.
• The NTIA did not follow the correct public comment procedures.
• The NTIA does not have the authority to hand over the contract.
• The transition does not properly protect the .gov and .mil top-level domains.
